[Elite Pete]

Any job is better than no job at the moment

[LaserLance]

Aint't we all sick off working wish I could we the lottery then I could say "Im off to sunnier climes"I can perfectly understand why people under 30 are leaving this country as it not just gone down the toilet, I think its on the way into the sewage farm ,but even that is untreatable

Define "crap pay"

If you left school/college with no qualifications then consider yourself lucky to have a job.
Similarly, if you have a trade under your belt then it's £500 as an absolute minimum you should be taking home.

your spot on, thats all i can get now, last year it was double that shopfitting. all im doing is working on council properties. and they just want it tarted up with minimal work done. its crap,regular and it pays until the shopfitting picks up again.

well i was made reduntent 4 monthes ago and have been doing any job to pay the mortgage from cleaning, factorey work,in fact anything to pay the mortgage and put food on the table.when you have a job you moan but when you dontyou moan alot more

[Gaffers]

I actually enjoy my job.  Lots of good benefits, good pay, excellent pension... makes up for the loss of some civil liberties and the business trips I have to make.  That said it's not everyone's cup of tea

[tunnie]

i like my job too, very good money for my age, 3 days on 3 days off structure. Strong possibility of it going from contract to perm soon.

I left school with poor GCSE's but turned it around, went to college, then uni, i now earn in a day what some of my class mates at school now earn in a week.

I have a trade, apprenticeship indentures and many years experience, and I can only dream of earning that much! 
Unless you're on about monthly pay...............

What trade is it?

I think KillerWatt is referring to weekly pay, i am 25, and i take over double that per week.

[Andy B]

.... and i take over double that per week.

So was I when I was contracting & working via an agency .... the company doesn't have holiday or sick pay etc to provide.

Holiday and sick pay is worth a lot, my contract is up in 2 months, and there is strong chance they will offer me perm. As long as its reasonable money i will take it, benefits add up to a lot

That's the only time I was earning that kind of dosh.

I suppose I have a few trades but sometimes associated - welding and fabrication, mechanical fitting, HGV maintenance and coachbuilding with quals in all of them.

Starting a new job on Monday, going back (this time on the books) to building rescue submarines and ROV's as a mechanical fitter, it's less money than contracting, but permanent, sick pay, hol pay, BUPA, Asian, US and EU work (hopefully) etc yada, blah. Can't wait, as I REALLY enjoyed it when I was simply contracting there up until January
 

Good job my missis gets paid handsomely - and she's only got an A level in art!

I might have to start doing a  bit of OT, as SWMBO's job is looking it might be going by the way side
